Brief Description:  Fwd Top Final Skin 4

The last few rivets were pulled rivets. I couldn't get a bucking bar onto the shop head due to nuts, rods, and other stuff being in the way. So I sent Van's Engineering a note and they said pulled rivets are okay for any hole except the longerons. If those holes need a pulled rivet I need to use a Cherry Max pulled rivet.

Van's sells some nice 7/64 flush head rivets that work well here.

Then Bob came over to help me put the canopy on.

One note: I saw an RV at Arlington that had the top skin screwed on. That would be nice but I couldn't see putting in all the platenuts. Just not enough room to access.
